Aghlabids

a dynasty of Arabian emirs (800–909) in Ifriqiya, vassals of the caliphate. Its founder was a vice regent appointed by Harun al-Rashid, Ibrahim ibn al-Aghlab (800–812). The Aghlabids fought against the tribes that came forward under the banner of Kharijitism and against the Imamate of Tahrt, which they founded in southern Ifriqiya. The Aghlabids’ administrative and cultural center was Kairouan; they built the fortified residence of their emirs at Kasr al-Kadim, near Kairouan. In 909 their state succumbed to attacks by the Shiites.
